This case raises the question of when a party may redact portions of otherwise discoverable documents within the context of the Supreme Court Civil Rules, B.C. Reg., 168/2009.
The chambers judge denied the application of the applicant, Trigon Pacific Terminals Ltd., for the production of unredacted copies of certain commercial agreements between the respondents, the Prince Rupert Port Authority and Ridley Island Energy Export Facility Limited Partnership, the latter being a commercial competitor of Trigon.
Trigon challenged the order and the Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal.
